A flight carrying children to Lapland was the first plane to take-off at around 6am this morning and British Airways and easyJet have confirmed they are now flying today. The re-opening of the runway came around four hours after the last sighting of the drone, which had buzzed over the airport more than 50 times since 9pm on Wednesday night. Last night the Army was sent in with 'specialist equipment' - believed to be a 'kill-jammer' that cuts the drone's communications from up to two miles away and a 'drone dome' that shoots them out of the sky with a laser. Today Gatwick confirmed that 'additional mitigating measures' were working and had given them 'reassurance' to re-open the runway at Britain's second busiest airport. Police are still hunting for the pilot causing the chaos, rumoured to be a 'lone wolf eco-warrior' who brought Gatwick to a standstill as 760 flights were grounded and 110,000 completely stranded with up to 400,000 more booked in to fly the end of Sunday. Gatwick has said that a 'limited' number of flights expected to land and take-off today, but hundreds of thousands still face disruption after almost three days of drone chaos.
